: variable spring constant (elasticity modulus). The actual value of 
is determined by the activity of the connecting motoneuron; 
can be regarded as (actual) contractility of the muscle. 
: coefficient of the damping produced by viscosity. The torque generated by the damping is assumed to be proportional to the contraction velocity of the muscle fibre with a constant value of 
for a given muscle type.
